How to Get a Haste Helm in Baldur’s Gate 3
To get the coveted Haste Helm in Baldur’s Gate 3 during Act 1, you must open the chest in the center of Blighted Village. Here is a short overview of how to get Haste Helm in BG3:

To get to the Blighted Village, head north from the beach where you landed after the prologue. Your destination is located in the center of the Act 1 area. First, you’ll encounter the Emerald Grove.

You must either kill them or persuade them you are also one of the absolute worshipers.
The Haste Helm is in a chest exactly in the center of the Blighted Village next to the broken cart. You need to unlock it with a character that has Sleight of Hand skill, and pass a 10 DC Dexterity check. With the chest unlocked loot it to get the item.
